It is clearly a permission issue

try giving permission to aforamentioned folder

first you need to find out os user which my sql uses. for this you need to check 

vi /etc/mysqld/mysql.ini

First Try This.

chown -R <mysqluser> /opt/lampp/var/mysql

If it does not work try

chmod 750 /opt/lampp/var/mysql/istiaq-B250M-HD3.err

if the error message changes after the last command then 

chmod 750 /opt/lampp/var/mysql

or last way (not advised)

chmod -R 777 /opt/lampp/var/mysql
